[Nook Color General] mitch4235:
Had the same issue. Here is what I found that works.

reviewhorizon.com/2010/12/how-to-root-nook-color-review-and-gallery

The relevant portion is under Activity 4:

Activity 4: Install apk packages directly from the Nook Color

If you get Install blocked and Installation of download apks is not supported messages when you try to install an apk package directly from your Nook Color, you’ll need to perform the following steps to enable it

1. Download SQLLite 3.7.4 or later and install it under the Android SDK \ Tools folder. From the SQl Lite page you can download sqllite-shell-win32-x86-3070400.zip. Inside there is a sqllite3.exe that has to go in the Tools folder inside your Android SDK installation.

2. Open a command line windows (Activity 2, Step 4) and type the following commands: (replace android-sdk-windows with your path to where Android SDK is stored on your computer. The main ideea is to get to the tools folder where you have both adb.exe and sqllite3.exe)

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 settings.db

sqlite> update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';

sqlite> .q

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db​

I downloaded and used ADB Wireless from the market, which is easier than getting ADB working through USB.

I have att 2gb data usage plan. If I let people use it will it consider be using my data usage. Sorry for a silly question
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yes. This will count against your data
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Alright thanks because on some roms it says free so I was confused
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
It's free as in you don't have to pay the extra $15/mth for tethering...it will still count against your data usage.

[Droid 2 General] walkingman:
I'm following instructions given by karnovaran "How to root the Droid 2"

I have a Droid 2 running 2.2 OS, latest SDK, latest Moto drivers. I'm new to Droid 2 but not to windows or linux. After running the instructions rageagainstthecage, waiting to be kicked out, and then issuing "adb kill-server". The following command "adb devices" lists my device as "offline" and not surprising "adb shell" give me the "error: device offline".

The similar threads didn't seem to help. Does anyone have an idea?
[Droid 2 General] Spitemare:
Just use z4root. It's no longer on the market but you can download it from its official thread. The Droid 2 works beautifully with it.
[Droid 2 General] walkingman:
Thank You for the quick reply. I will take a look and see if a z4root is a better route to take. I will also watch for other replies. I am as curious as to way rageagainstthecage is not working as I am to complete the rooting process. Has Verison block this application? I'm even more curoius to know why providing something as simple as superuser to a linux OS is so shrouded in voodoo. It may just be something simple I missed but the device goes offline on the phone side and I can not reconnect until it is rebooted.
[Droid 2 General] Spitemare:
Well, rageagainstthecage is an exploit that tricks the adb daemon on the phone into running as root instead of setuid'ing to a non-root user. Once that's accomplished you can do pretty much anything through adb such as installing system level packages and changing some system configuration files. Basically all the existing root methods for the Droid 2 use rageagainstthecage to obtain root and then fix the system to allow any user to su to root.

Verizon can't block the exploit because the bug is in the adb daemon which a vendor really shouldn't touch. As for why it might not be working on your phone, rageagainstthecage really relies on what is called a race condition. The exploit has to kill the adb daemon and fork off another process before the adb daemon is restarted. Sometimes it fails to do so.

Really z4root has made most previous methods obsolete. It does the hard work for you.
[Droid 2 General] walkingman:
Thank you for that very fine explaination. I guess I will proceed to z4root now.
[Droid 2 General] walkingman:
Just a last followup.

Z4root worked prefect! I'm rooted, got the SDK connected to Netbeans and the latest moto drivers. Let the games begin.

Thank you again Spitemare
[Droid 2 General] elsenoire:
Hi there, I got a similar problem. I downloaded z4root as well but the thing simply quits halfway. No error message appears and the device remains unrooted. What else can I do?
[Droid 2 General] JeezyMT3G:
Try this

Reboot your device then try running the app again ....

It would quit half way on me too but a fresh reboot did the trick :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] MILH0U5E:
I've been enjoying the different aosp gingerbread roms from echoside, savage team, and evokings... they each run really well and stand apart from each other.

But one thing that I have been unable to shake is the high percentage of Android System running. Its always upwards of 60% or higher, unless the phone is in airplane mode.

I think I found the culprit in this issue... I turned off backing up to Google services, and wham! No more high Android System usage. It hasn't been a full day yet, but I usually notice it by mid morning.

Just thought I'd throw this out there for you GB fans.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DG4FREE:
Just wondering, where do you find the option to turn that sync off. It's not in the accounts and sync settings is it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGWORM:
I'm on UltimateDroid's v3.1.1, which is a GB rom. I've had so high of Dailer usage (60%), that it's drained my phone from 50% to 2% on an extended battery with Tiamat's SBC kernel. I tried clearing data for dailer storage, and nothing. I'm gonna have to look for another rom, because this is ridiculous.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fatapia:
the only time ive seen that option is during the first boot up where it asks for your credentials, is this option anywhere else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RonMac:
I am using the same ROM and I switched to the savaged zen kernal and my battery life almost doubled.

I also notced that the 4G radio eats up the battery too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xjreyes:
Wow 4G eats up battery? That's new. Lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CheesyNutz:

[EVO 4G Android Development] k2buckley:
You're welcome.

Yes, that setting is separate, under accounts and sync.

This thread should now be moved out of Dev section and into General.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MILH0U5E:
Sorry, went away from my phone and forgot to put that info in my OP.

Hopefully this is indeed the fix...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ncfastls1:
Thanks for the tip. I just turned it off. But it seems to me like with GB AOSP roms, cell standby is what is constantly at the top of battery usage. I've noticed I get 3G drops every once in a while, where it will back down to 1x and then switch back to 3G after a few seconds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sean-El:
Yep, mine's at 61% for today...
[EVO 4G Android Development] RonMac:
Maybe I should have been more clear. It eats up the battery more than I have noticed on Froyo roms.

[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Classic. That's probably the most accurate representation of how this will all work out.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
They have already announced they are working on it. Give them time. Its almost like bugging a dev here on a release date.

As for moto, I don't believe they are under any agreements saying they have to do a damn thing for us.

I for one would love to flash something nice onto this thing, but coming across as whiney children, which many do will not help. Go through the proper channels if you must, but stop the temper tantrums people are throwing over it
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
These aren't temper tantrums they're a form of protest. Corporate america doesn't budge or give in unless they get enough bad publicity. Doing something to draw attention to them then explaining why is better than just sitting back with our fingers crossed hoping that they one day they'll open up the bootloader. That's pretty much the point we're all trying to get across.
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
You aren't entitled to an answer. You bought the phone knowing what you were getting into, and now it's not how you want it, when you want it, and you're going to get upset about it? Stop acting like you're entitled to any of this. Motorola doesn't owe you a damn thing.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
Going through the proper channels such as the press is an excellent way of getting the attention the problem deserves, but the OP is going about it wrong. Flooding their twitter accounts, and being annoying as he describes is indeed a temper tantrum and will solve nothing especially when they are already working on a solution.

If you want to get it resolved, just like in life, you need to work with the other party instead of working against them. Annoying them is not working with them at all.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gcq4nb:
Can you clearly explain what you did? Are you trying to create a variable to run ADB in terminal without having to write the whole path down?

if so do this:

cd ~

pico bash .bash_profile

type:

export PATH${PATH}:/where you smacked your sdk (should end with platform-tools)

control-x

Y

Close terminal and restart

Should work magical wonders and awesomeness.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AshtonTS:
Type

cd /Users/Brainchild/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools/adb

Hit enter.

Then type an adb command with your device plugged in your computer. Make sure to put a "./" with no quotes or spaces before any adb or fastboot command.

It should look something like this:

./adb remount

Hit enter. It should say "remount successful" if it does than you are good. If not than let us know

[Q] Battery Drain on Mimocan Lag Fix

Hello all

I have noticed that my battry drain very fast after I applyed the Mimocan lag fix with a Sandisk 16 gb card Class 2 (all thanks to Mimocan for this lag fix. Apps run much smoother).

The main problem is when the phone goes in to standby. Last night it drained 22% :eek: even with all sync action diabled and all apps killed. Before the lag fix I did only see a 2-4% drop in battery over night.

To compare it drained more then a 15 min call I made before I went to sleep (35% vs 25% of total battery used. I pulled it out of the charger 5 min. before the call, so the data should be correct)

When the phone is activated, it seem like the battery drain is about normal.

I wonder if all/most ppl have this problem or is it just me?

My guess is that the SD card is activated all the time to acces apps data, and thus drain the battery.

Im on the m2 software, but I dont know if its the software or just a common issue when doing this lagfix?

Give a comment, Thx.

[Q] What drivers are needed for Odin?

Like other people, I'm having extreme difficulty connecting my SGS to PC with USB. I have tried just about everything mentioned in the forums, including:

-USB drivers from Kies and other sources (like the ATT Captivate drivers). Usually the Kies downloaded package installs all, but it cannot find the samsung modem driver when I plug in the phone. The Captivate drivers could not find "USB gadget". I tried installing both.

-Reformatting SD card (actually allows me to connect to 91 Panda PC Helper in -debug mode... but that's it)

-Erasing all references to Nokia and Motorola using Regedit. However I did not erase references to Samnsung or Windows Mobile)

-Praying to the creator

-Sacrifice of chicken

-Starting phone while connected to USB

-turning off antivirus.

I tried flashing phone using odin, in download mode, but it seemed that odin could not see my phone. Nothing happened.

Anyone have other ideas?

Reference:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696907&goto=newpost

Samsung placed the power button at an awkward place. I assume it wouldn't be too hard to accomplish this. Probably using an app or coded into custom ROMs?

EDIT: Don't have the phone yet but so I assumed it couldn't do it like the Desire. it seems you can wake the phone with Home and Power. :) I think the thread above details how to enable/disable the other buttons in waking the phone as well. Looks like a simple editing of the keyboard layout and then pushing it back. Thanks.

Hi there,

Could anyone tell me what will happen if I did the following:

I checked around but I don't think these minor questions have been covered in the big FAQ

Is it necessary to apply repartitioning when updating to a new firmware?

Will you corrupt data if you upgrade just 'modem' or 'csc' on ODIN?

Will you retain all your data if you don't go for repartition when updating to new firmware?

I've successfully flashed 2 new firmwares. One of them was Russian (jm5) and I was told a bit after than I can just apply the jm1 csc. Anyway, I got over it and just reflashed back to JM2 as it was stable enough.

[Q] Headphones and micro issue

Hi,

I am the happy owner of HiDefDrum (+micro) - by atomic floyd - headphones I bought originally for my iPhone. It worked great with the iPhone 3G 16Go (sound, microphone and button).

Now I bought a Samsung Galaxy S last week, and I have problems with my headphones.

If I plug the headphones completely, the sound is weird when I listen to music (as if I heard only an echo of the sound, I don't even hear the voice of the singer) unless... I press the headphones button ! Then the sound is normal.

I can listen to a normal sound when I do not plug the headphones completely (leaving the last part of the plug outside).

And in any case, the microphone does not work.

I thought it was a hardware problem, until I saw that we can access many configuration settings using the code *#*#197328640#*#*

I guess the problem can be solved by modifying some settings in this menu, but I have no idea which !

[Q] Question before drastic measures :) experts please

Hi Guys

I have tried all sorts of lag fixes on this forum, but after installing a couple of apps (10 to 15 in my case). The telephone is sluggish and laggy.

Yesterday i got fed up oflag fixes and firmware flashing hoping that the next version will be the solution so i put it on one of the online selling websites

I really like the way the phone looks and its amazing hardware but i am really not sure whether to keep it or sell it

Everyone keeps saying that the froyo 2.2 update will solve all the problems, so would you guys recommend holding on to the phone till end of september till the froyo is released, or should i sell it now and minimize my losses and try some other mobile phone

Is it true that 2.2 is gonna do its magic regarding lag and the time it takes to load an app, or am I having high expectations
